The #Redskins are signing former #Texas speedy LB and UDFA Gary Johnson, source said. He originally signed post-draft with the #Chiefs

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 17, 2019

Confirmed Redskins signed LB Gary Johnson, per source. Banged up some inside. @RapSheet first.

My apologies; I think @RapSheet reported the Johnson signing first. Humphrey was the corresponding move

Colt McCoy's health has come into focus in recent weeks, and he could start the season on an injury list if he isn't healthy enough for game action.

However, McCoy isn't eligible for the PUP list. Here's why.https://t.co/HaG0tU6Mrb

It's a whole new ballgame for wide receivers dealing with pass interference calls, according to Santana Moss.

I believe OPI is much more complex than DPI and reviews will be difficult. Here is a pick/rub situation. OPI called on the #2 receiver. Challenged and let stand. The receiver runs vertical and contact is incidental as the defender runs into him. This appears to be a legal rub. https://t.co/DEeY9sNP41

@LakeLewis @SportsJourney #Redskins I know it's late, but I completely agree with your take on the Refs #WASvsCIN and I feel that Joe Theisman had the perfect perplexed response to this ridiculous call. https://t.co/LYlFCIObo6

The NFL now has a bigger pass interference problem than it had before https://t.co/bj3jRI65GK

I largely agree. Plus if nothing else he's a ST help. That Nicholson appears back on track helps give Apke more time as well. Reaves did look solid attacking the line, ball at times. https://t.co/ACvkv1MJ2j

To keep you also have to give up.

Keep 5th ILB, let's say Flowers.

That probably means 6 WR. Make that cut.

Also 5 DL, which might be tricky with Brantley. https://t.co/CmIAjJhEdT

Could the #Redskins keep only three RBs on the roster? It’s possible, writes @JacobCamenker https://t.co/qkAHqOUbEC

— Riggo's Rag (@RiggosRag) August 17, 2019

We keep joking about Gruden's love for Perine. Guy is certainly strong, but at some point production required. He remains the 4th RB at this moment, imo, but case for Marshall, Reynolds or Wilson now more apparent.

The highest graded player from the #Redskins loss on Thursday night (minimum of 25 snaps) was CB Greg Stroman who had an 80.5 overall grade. #HTTR pic.twitter.com/S5z7lsnHvT

Because Norman was making a play on the ball and the offensive player fell into him. Norman wasn't even trying to make a hit. How can he avoid that?

— HookedOnTronicsTRX (@Hooked0nTronics) August 17, 2019

Harvey-Clemons had the 4th most snaps on the night with 39.

He finished with a 64.7 overall grade with 4 defensive stops and 2 missed tackles.

It should be a universal rule that ALL #NFL teams have three QB's on their 53-man roster.

If you can believe it, there are some teams that thought it was smart to only have two AND nobody else on the 53/practice squad. https://t.co/wrvO2beB0D

Would effectively confirm Gruden and Allen being fired before the season even began though, right?

— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) August 17, 2019

Haven’t focused in on Penn yet, but man what a difference having Trent back would make... With Trent in there, I think I’d be tempted to start Haskins

While I’m working on an article on Christian, y’all can check out Robbie’s thread on Flowers/Skins OL https://t.co/EhCbYs8ske

— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) August 18, 2019

He's flashed potential, he has improved from last year but clearly has a lot to work on. I'm not calling him a bust quite yet.

— Robbie Duncan (@RobbieDuncanOL) August 18, 2019

Really good to see @dh_simba7 show this ability in college, and than do it in the #NFL quickly. @Redskins org and fans should be encouraged that he took another step forward. Blitz me-Gut you! @john_keim @RedskinsSalute @TheRedskinsWire pic.twitter.com/6r2tA10XB2

Geron Christian struggled against the Bengals on Thursday. One of his worst reps here. Takes a kick step and then attempts to initiate contact but gets his hands all wrong. Lunges at the DE with low hands that do nothing for him. DE swims past him easily, bailed out by Flowers pic.twitter.com/5QRtGt7baP

Interesting fit. Had to get some sort of guarantee of roster spot, I would think, to leave TV? #Eagles https://t.co/RCV1HuGfuY

Most Bill Belichick interview ever, he's ready for the regular season.

Q: You put out a statement on Josh Gordon today. Do you have anything add?

Belichick: "No."

Q: Not at all?

Belichick: "No, that is why we put out the statement."pic.twitter.com/4e9NAboRCC
